It's a great time to start a new project... or finish up that project you've had on the needles for years! We've all done that!

Frosty Twined Baby Jacket

This is my newest inspiration, born from a chilly child who is quickly out growing her little "Climbing Rose Cardigan" and seems to be sensitive to acrylics and nylons (go figure!). After being introduced to twined knitting I had a large ball of wool/alpaca Cuzco from Berroco left from a frogged project, plus some pure alpaca in a chunky weight (Cascade Baby Chunky Alpaca) thus I did a 2-color cast on and went to town! It's a bit tedious, but I have actually even considered making myself a sweater out of this yarn combo and technique! It is amazingly warm, soft and supple, yet still very sturdy and dense. Perfect for a baby coat. Stella will be quite stylish once I get this finished!

New Projects and Resolutions

Well Happy New Year! Most people have new year's resolutions, mine this year is to finish all (or a good chunk of) my projects that I have stashed just about everywhere! Here is one (literally) that I just finished last night! ... Of course now I need to make the other one...

BUTTONS!

We have lots of deliciously beautiful buttons! These will inspire many new projects! At least they have for me... On the left is a sampling of handmade regional (MI) buttons from Annie's Sweet Handspun and on the right is a sampling of buttons from a women's group in South Africa called Incomparable Buttons.
You asked for more buttons and we listened!

Open House!

We will be having our annual Open House Friday, November 20th from 4-8pm.

Come one come all for drinks, snacks, sales and holiday gift knitting ideas! One skein and quick knit projects will be our focus to help you get all your holiday knitting accomplished!

We hope to see you there!

My new winter hat!

Because my Looking Glass Sweater was so fun to make I have decided to make a mate for it. A hat. Which I will felt! How fun will this be you ask? Well to someone who starts a new project everyday a quick felting project just gives me oodles of joy! I am creating this from Cascade 128 and Noro Silk Garden, now i know the Silk Garden is slimmer, but my hopes are that they will give the windows more pop. By the way this pattern will be called Stained Glass instead of Looking Glass. I'll keep you updated... I hope to be felting tonight if all goes well.
